Does anybody know if the numbers from Episode 3/4 for the bank vault "spell" out anything? Like if written out in some form of Japanese, they either form words or anagrams of words? (or if they spell out anything when flipped upside-down)

And on that note, can any of the names of the people or places in the game somehow translate into a number sequence?

In general, whenever somebody is completely unable to find words to describe what happened (Shannon & Gohda in episode 2, Gohda & Kumasawa in episode 4), I think it really means they're making it up, didn't have time to completely agree on their stories, and want to avoid contradicting anyone else in the future.

Kinzo had left instructions for what to do if his children seriously questioned whether he was alive. ("All of you have failed. Krauss, Kyrie, ...: agree on a scenario in which the others were killed at 10. Stay in character or everyone in disinherited.") I don't think anybody good who knew there were real murders could be threatened into lying.

The killer's plan was supposed to start going off at around midnight, and it ultimately depended on convincing Maria (or maybe Battler) that they were at the tenth twilight. He/she panicked that the reveal at the end would completely spoil that plan. Once anybody could be killed without the knowledge spilling back to the cousins, they were. When she was given her test, Maria chose her own life (no tricks).

Also, the rifles held five bullets. The killer was probably one of the people "killed" at the first twilight.

Of course before ep4 there's been tons of speculation about that, and since the PIN starts with "07" everyone pretty much used the same reading that caused Ryukishi to chose "07" in his nickname because it can be spelled as "Reina".

In a few words 07151129 becomes: Reina igo ii niku

"ii niku" means "good meat" and someone though it was appropriate because Ep3 is the banquet of the golden witch. 15 could also be spelled as "ichigo", strawberry.

Reina is... well the original name of Higurashi's Rena, or the name of one of the five main characters of Final Fantasy V.

Well, new member here. Just wanted to say, I am enjoying this discussion. I am from India and I feel that anime and manga are good ways to propagate interest in Japanese culture among foreigners like me. Sorry for being off topic. Just for the record, Kanon is currently my favorite character in UM.

What about reading it backwards or upside down? (upside down 5 looks like some kind of Japanese symbol to me, but I could be wrong)

While we're talking numbers, the item that I got thinking about in the Q&A: the name "Rokkenjima" itself, as "Six House Island". Maybe pointless, but a couple things come to mind.

First off, the concept of "six houses" would be pretty weird. We've got the mansion, the guesthouse, and Kuwadorian. I'm not sure where to go with that one, though.

Also, the "six" possibly applying to the first twilight. Eva checks an atlas, right? But people looking at an atlas haven't found whatever it was she saw, apparently. Well, Rokkenjima is fictional, so maybe that explains it? In addition to the first character being a "six", it would be written with six kana.

Alternatively... Six toes? Six years? There's a lot of "six" in this game for some reason. If we're thinking about 07151129, it's almost odd that it doesn't have a six in it anywhere, considering.
